Lot of whining here to fix stuff.

The source and bugs are there, why not help out instead?

… regarding my previous post on how to connect more than two sortables.
The way to connect multiple sortables is not to call
sortable() multiple times:
$(‘#list1′).sortable(‘option’, ‘connectWith’, ‘#list2′);
$(‘#list1′).sortable(‘option’, ‘connectWith’, ‘#list3′);
but to call sortable() once with multi-selector:
$(‘#list1′).sortable(‘option’, ‘connectWith’, ‘#list2,#list3′);
- works like a charm.

Thanks for this great product!
I have a question:
I can connect to sortable lists 1-2, 2-1.
But when I connect three sortable lists 1-2, 1-3, 2-1, 2-3, 3-1, 3-2
it only connects two of them. Is this possible to connect 3 sortable lists?

Nested sortables sound exciting, but are pretty unmanageable in this implementation–lots of jitter. I think I’ll be implementing my own version of this using hover events to connect sortables on the fly if possible.

@Patrick – This kind of customization is well handled by the jQuery UI CSS Framework. You can create a custom theme by hand that doesn’t have these styles, or override them using plugin-specific. For more, see the jQuery Cookbook chapter written by Filament Group.

Great!

When looking at the tab definition in ui development, there is no “widget header” background. It would be nice if there were a format option for tabs that didn’t have the background and outline, but instead just clean tabs

jQuery rocks!

@Richard (re @Scott) What Scott is talking about is the broken Link to ‘StackFix’ above under the ‘New Plugins’ section of the ‘jQuery UI 1.8a1′ stuff written by…. Yourself.

You really should know what you have written and got links to… Might be an idea to Fix that before others start telling you all about it.

If StackFix was replaced by something then changing/removing the link is the most obvious thing to do.
